I beg to call your attention to
Act 260 of 1914, which provides for
D the collection of the automobile
Star, and to say that I will sincerely D
appreciate your co-operation in en- D
D forcing this law.
I This department collected approX
0 imately $400,000 in 1920, at a cost
of about three (8%) per cent.
S Considering the fact that this
0 money is returned to the perishes to
0 be used for the up-keep of the pub
0 lic roads, all automobile owners
0 should be made to pay this com
0 paratively small tax.
Section 14 of Act 260 of 1914 de
2 nounces any violation of this law as s
0 a misdemeanor, and provides a pea
Salty of either fine or imprisonment,
5 or both, which makes it emy for the
5 local authorities to enforce same.
This law also provides that aln
fines collected are turned dyer to
5 the parish road fund.
0 I ask your earnest consideration of
Sthe above.
Yours very truly,
